Williamson County Schools' high school graduation is up slightly this year.

The district had a 95.6 percent graduation rate in the 2016-17 school year, slightly up from 95.5 percent in the 2015-16 and 2014-15 school years.

“We are proud that our schools continue to show growth in graduation rate," said WCS Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools Charles Farmer.

"We recognize there is still an opportunity to support a small segment of each school’s senior cohort as they work to meet all the State’s graduation requirements. I am confident that through the work of our administrators and staffs that we will continue to make gains in graduation rate," Farmer said.

WCS was one of 43 districts this year that had a graduation rate at or above 95 percent.
